TON!  AND  IF  OUR  AMERICAN  INSTITUTIONS  HAD  DONE  NOTHING  ELSE,  THAT 
ALONE  WOULD  HAVE  ENTITLED  THEM  TO  THE  RESPECT  OF  MANKIND.

PREFACE. 


One  hundred  and  fifty-seven  years  ago,  there  was  born  in  a  plain 
Virginia  farm-house,  a  boy,  whose  life  history  has  commanded  the 
admiration  and  respect  of  the  world,  and  the  love  and  veneration  of 
his  countrymen.  That  boy — a  leader  among  boys — became  the 
hardy  young  Surveyor,  the  trusted  Commissioner,  the  Virginia 
Colonel,  the  Commander-in-Chief,  and  finally  the  First  President 
of  the  United  States.  A  brief  summary !  but  those  years  of  pro 
gression  teem  with  events  and  results,  among  the  most  remarkable 
in  the  history  of  man.  A  people  winning  independence,  a  republic 
originated  and  consolidated,  a  world  advanced  in  ideas  and 
humanity.  That  boy,  that  man,  steadily  growing  and  steadily 
working,  controlled  these  events,  utilized  these  results,  and  made 
possible  the  glorious  future  of  his  country. 

Yet  the  history  of  George  Washington  is  not  always  a  recital 
of  brilliant  exploits  in  the  field, — the  cunning  strategy  of  the  Com 
mander, — nor  is  it  always  a  narrative  of  startling  movements  in 
the  cabinet, — the  secret  diplomacy  of  the  Statesman, — but  it  is 
always  the  consistent  record  of  a  man  true  to  himself,  true  to 
his  country,  true  to  his  God.  The  Life  of  an  earnest,  honest 
man,  of  a  sincere,  conscientious  ruler,  and  of  a  patriot  without 
guile ;  never  faltering  in  the  right,  never  neglecting  a  duty,  never

hesitating  in  his  love  and  devotion  for  his  country.  Pure  of 
thought,  pure  of  action,  unerring  in  judgment,  unwearied  in 
effort. 

This  life  history  has  been  written  so  often,  and  has  appeared 
in  so  many  forms,  from  the  slight  sketch  to  the  ponderous  quarto, 
from  the  school-book  of  a  single  volume,  to  the  finished  pro 
duction  of  many,  that  but  few  are  aware  of  the  number  and 
how  constantly  it  has  been  added  to.  It  is  proper,  therefore, 
that  some  attempt  should  be  made  to  impart  such  information, 
and  by  devoting  this  volume  to  that  purpose  we  shall  endeavor 
to  furnish  a  list  of  these  sketches  and  biographies,  so  that  the 
student  and  reader  may  know  what  to  refer  to  and  what  to  make 
useful. 

While  the  list  has  been  made  as  complete  as  was  possible, 
we  do  not  necessarily  claim  it  to  be  exhaustive,  especially  as 
regards  the  sketches;  but,  at  the  same  time  feel  assured,  that  for 
all  practical  purposes  it  will  be  found  sufficient. 

The  chronological  arrangement  of  titles  has  prevented  the 
grouping  together  of  all  the  editions  of  particular  works,  which 
would  have  been  desirable,  but  as  such  information  can  he  had  by 
reference  to  the  Index,  that  sequence,  certainly  the  best,  has  been 
adhered  to. 

The  word  re-issue,  as  used  throughout  the  work,  is  intended  to 
convey  the  fact  that  the  book  or  sketch  under  consideration,  was 
printed  from  the  stereotype-plates  of  an  earlier  date,  and  the  word 
reprinted  indicates  a  new  set  up  of  type,  duplicating  the  text  of  the 
original  publication,  but  not,  however,  necessarily  the  same  as  to  the 
size  or  number  of  pages.

PREFACE. 

The  numbers  designating  the  different  portraits  in  these  publica 
tions,  correspond  with  those  in  a  previous  work  of  the  writer,  entitled 
the  "  Engraved  Portraits  of  Washington,"  where  fuller  descriptions  are 
furnished. 

The  etched  portrait  prefixed  to  the  volume  is  from  the  three- 
quarter  length  painted  from  life  by  Joseph  Wright,  at  Philadelphia,  in 
1784,  for  Mrs.  Samuel  Powel,  of  that  city,  an  intimate  friend  of 
Washington.  The  portrait,  still  in  the  possession  of  the  Powel  family 
at  Newport,  R.  I.,  is  remarkable  for  its  pronounced  personality  without 
any  attempt  at  the  ideal,  and  in  that  respect,  while  possessing  no  par 
ticular  artistic  excellence,  is  extremely  interesting  and  valuable.  The 
etching  executed  expressly  for  this  work  by  Mr.  Albert  Rosenthal  of 
Philadelphia,  from  his  own  drawing  made  in  the  summer  of  1888,  is  a 
close  translation  of  the  original,  which,  with  the  exception  of  a  repro 
duction  on  wood  published  in  the  Century  Magazine  for  November, 
1887,  has  not  heretofore  been  engraved. 

Joseph  Wright,  the  painter  of  the  "  Powel  Portrait,"  was  born  at 
Bordentown,  New  Jersey,  July  i6th,  1756,  and  died  at  Philadelphia 
in  1793.  The  family  having  removed  to  England  after  the  decease 
of  his  father,  Mr.  Wright  studied  both  at  Paris  and  London,  where 
his  mother,  Mrs.  Patience  Lovell  Wright,  was  well  known  as  an 
excellent  modeler  in  wax.  After  his  return  to  this  country  Mr. 
Wright  painted  several  portraits  of  Washington  from  life,  the  first 
being  executed  at  Rocky  Hill,  New  Jersey,  in  1783,  the  year  pre 
vious  to  the  production  of  the  "Powel  Portrait."  Other  portraits 
followed,  one  of  the  most  interesting  being  a  drawing  in  profile  made 
in  New  York  in  1790.  This  the  artist  afterwards  reproduced  in  a

small  etching,  probably  the  earliest   painter-etching   of  any  import 
ance  executed  in  America. 

In  closing  this  my  fourth  and  final  contribution  to  "  Washing- 
toniana,"  let  me  say  to  my  countrymen,  that  one  of  the  imperative 
duties  of  citizenship  is  to  keep  alive  the  sacred  fire  of  patriotism, 
which  burned  so  purely  and  so  steadily,  in  the  breast  of  our  Washing 
ton,  and  that  in  no  way  can  the  fulfilment  of  this  duty — a  common 
heritage — be  better  understood  than  by  the  careful  study  of  the  Life 
and  the  Character  of  the  FATHER  OF  His  COUNTRY!

The  sketch  which  occupies  pp.  14-24  of  the  pamphlet,  was  written  by  John  Bell,  Esq., 
of  Maryland,  and  forms  the  contents  of  a  letter  by  him  to  a  friend  in  Europe,  dated  May  3d, 
1779,  published  the  following  year  as  above  described.  The  author  of  the  epistle  to  which  it 
was  annexed  was  Charles  Henry  Wharton,  also  a  native  of  Maryland,  but  at  the  time  a  resi 
dent  of  Worcester,  England,  and  to  whom  in  all  probability  the  letter  was  addressed.  The 
sketch,  which  so  far  as  we  know,  is  the  first  attempt  at  a  Biography  of  Washington  made  in 
America,  was  also  printed  in  the  London  Chronicle,  July  22d,  1780.  Of  the  writer,  John 
Bell,  we  have  no  information  other  than  the  statement  in  the  preface,  that  he  was  "  connected 
and  intimate  in  the  family"  of  Washington.  The  pamphlet  has  been  reprinted  several  times, 
the  last  being  at  New  York,  in  1865.

Thomas  Jones  was  born  in  Queens  County,  Province  of  New  York,  April  3Oth,  1731. 
He  married  a  daughter  of  James  de  Lancey,  Governor  of  New  York,  and  at  the  time  of  the 
outbreak  of  the  Revolution  was  a  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Province.  In  con 
sequence  of  his  adherence  to  the  royal  cause,  Judge  Jones  lost  his  estate  under  the  confisca 
tion  act,  and  was  one  of  the  fifty-six  gentlemen  and  three  ladies  included  in  the  New  York 
Act  of  Attainder.  Judge  Jones  left  the  United  States  in  1781,  and  died  in  England,  July 
25th,  1792.  During  the  years  1783-88,  he  employed  his  leisure  hours  in  recording  the  events 
of  the  period,  the  MS.  of  which  was  preserved  and  published  at  New  York  in  1879,  as 
above  described.  Included  in  the  work  are  short  sketches  of  several  of  the  prominent  par 
ticipators  in  the  Revolution ;  the  Washington  sketch  (Vol.  II,  pp.  344-49)  may  have  been 
written  about  the  year  1785.

merit  is  esteemed,  or  virtue  honored,  mankind  will  never  cease  to  revere  the  memory  of

of  the  writer,  occurs  in  a  German  almanac,  the  "  Nord  Americanische  Calender  "  for  the 
year  1779,  printed  at  Lancaster,  Pa.,  a  copy  of  which  is  in  the  library  of  Samuel  W.  Penny- 
packer,  LL.D.,  of  Philadelphia.  The  frontispiece  of  the  full  size  of  the  page,  sm.  4to,  an 
emblematic  design,  presents  in  the  upper  portion  of  it,  a  figure  of  Fame  with  a  trumpet  in  her 
right  hand,  and  in  her  left  a  medallion  portrait,  laureated,  inscribed  "  Waschington."  From 
the  trumpet  proceed  the  words,  "  Des  Landes  Vater,"  the  FATHER  OF  THE  COUNTRY.  The 
material  for  the  almanac,  furnished  by  David  Rittenhouse,  was  doubtless  prepared  and  printed 
in  1778.— W.  S.  B.

5  vols.,  8vo,  1804-7,  pp.  XXII,  488  (45);  VIII,  560  (72);  VIII,  580  (28);  VIII,  626 
(16)  ;  VII,  779  (36).  Portrait  after  Stuart,  Baker,  2IO;  4to  Vol.  of  maps  (10),  and  sub 
scribers'  names.  Vols.  II,  III,  IV  and  V  contain  the  "  Life  of  George  Washington,"  the  First 
Volume  being  devoted  to  the  Introduction  or  Colonial  History. 

From  the  fact  of  General  Washington  having  bequeathed  all  his  papers,  both  of  a 
public  and  private  nature,  to  his  nephew,  Bushrod  Washington,  it  came  to  be  generally 
understood  at  the  time  that  he  would  prepare  the  much  needed  biography  of  his  uncle, 
and  that  the  latter  really  expected  it  of  him.  That  such  was  the  intention  of  Judge  Washing 
ton  is  made  apparent  by  the  following  announcement  over  his  signature  in  the  True  American, 
Philadelphia,  August  1 8th,  1800:  "  Having  at  length  engaged  a  gentleman  of  distinguished 
talents  to  assist  in  writing  a  History  of  the  Life  of  the  late  General  Washington,  this  work 
will  be  immediately  commenced,  and  will  be  completed  as  expeditiously  as  the  nature  of  such 
an  undertaking  will  permit."  The  "  gentleman  of  distinguished  talents  "  was  John  Marshall, 
shortly  afterwards  appointed  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States.  Subsequently,  September 
23d,  1802,  Judge  Washington  disposed  of  the  copy-right  of  the  work  thus  inaugurated,  to 
Caleb  P.  Wayne,  publisher,  of  Philadelphia,  who  on  the  same  day  issued  proposals  for  its 
publication  by  subscription,  vide  Paulson's  Daily  Advertiser  of  that  date.  How  much  or 
how  little  Judge  Washington  contributed  to  the  work  is  not  known,  but  it  is  presumed  to 
have  been  nothing  beyond  the  selection  of  Marshall  as  the  writer,  and  the  necessary  examina 
tion  of  the  papers  bequeathed  to  him.  It  is  somewhat  singular,  however,  that  in  the  many 
public  notices  of  the  work  the  name  of  Judge  Marshall  does  not  appear  as  the  author, 
until  February  I5th,  1804,  when  the  certificate  of  copy-right,  as  printed  in  Vol.  I,  above 
described,  is  published  in  the  Daily  Advertiser,  in  connection  with  the  announcement  that 
the  volume  is  nearly  ready  for  distribution.  Marshall's  Life  of  Washington  was  the  first  im 
portant  contribution  to  the  subject,  and  it  is  still  regarded  as  the  standard  Biography.  The 
sale  was  unusually  large,  and  many  copies  were  printed,  demanding  on  the  part  of  Edwin, 
the  engraver,  the  execution  of  several  plates  of  the  portrait,  in  order  to  furnish  good 
impressions.

The  Life  |  of  |  George  Washington,  |  Commander  in  Chief  of  the 
American  |  Forces,  |  during  the  War  which  established  the  |  Indepen 
dence  of  his  Country,  |  and  |  First  President  of  the  United  States :  | 
Compiled  under  the  inspection  of  |  the  Honourable  Bushrod  Washing 
ton,  |  from  Original  Papers  bequeathed  to  him  by  his  deceased  Rela 
tive.  |  To  which  is  prefixed  |  an  Introduction,  |  containing  a  com 
pendious  View  of  the  Colonies  planted  by  the  English  on  |  the 
Continent  of  North  America.  |  By  John  Marshall,  |  Chief  Justice  of 
the  United  States,  etc.  etc.  |  Vol.  I.  |  London :  \  Printed  for  Richard

5  vols.,  4to,  1804-7,  PP-  XXXII,  458  (pp.  257-308  are  repeated) ;  VII,  541  ;  VIII, 
460;  VII,  589;  VII,  669-1  (pp.  293-319  are  repeated).  Vol.  I,  Portrait  r.fter  Stuart,

10  Maps. 

Dedicated  by  the  English  editor  to  the  Marquis  of  Lansdowne,  and  printed  simul 
taneously  with  the  Philadelphia  edition,  No.  49 ;  the  Portrait,  the  two  Maps  of  the  Northern 
and  Southern  States  in  Vol.  I,  and  the  Plates  and  Vignette,  Vols.  II,  III,  being  peculiar  to 
this  edition.  The  10  Maps  in  Vol.  V,  are  copies  of  those  issued  with  the  American  edition. 
The  difference  of  the  make-up  from  that  edition,  apart  from  the  size  of  the  page,  consists  in 
printing  the  lengthy  notes  at  the  end  of  each  volume  as  foot-notes,  and  a  change  in  the 
arrangement  of  some  chapters  in  Vols.  II,  III  and  IV.  This  admirable  issue  of  the  English 
press  is  certainly  not  one  of  the  least  of  the  notable  tributes  which  have  been  paid  to  the 
memory  of  Washington.

Quite  a  different  production  from  No.  32,  being  almost  entirely  re-written,  yet  retaining 
all  its  quaintness  and  originality.  It  is  also  divided  into  chapters,  and  possesses  some  claims 
to  the  dignity  of  biography  (sui  generis),  being  fuller  in  detail  and  more  consecutive  in  narra 
tive.  Very  little  of  the  original  sketch  has  been  used,  although  here  and  there  entire  sen 
tences  and  paragraphs  occur.  For  instance,  in  treating  of  the  moral  qualities  of  Washington, 
the  chapters  on  Benevolence  and  Industry,  and  the  corresponding  articles  of  the  original,  are 
almost  identical,  and  the  same  may  be  said  as  to  a  large  portion  of  the  chapter  entitled  the 
death  of  Washington ;  as  also  different  historical  references  on  pp.  70,  77,  82  and  89-95. 
This  edition  was  copy-righted  at  Philadelphia,  September  2oth,  1808,  as  the  Sixth,  but  it  is

A  reprint  of  No.  69.  The  Eighth  Edition  was  the  last  one  printed  for  the  author,  as  the 
copyright  was  then  sold  to  Mathew  Carey,  the  well  known  publisher  and  philanthropist  of  Phila 
delphia.  The  sum  paid  was  one  thousand  dollars,  as  stated  by  Weems  himself  in  a  letter  to 
Benjamin  Warner,  Bookseller  of  that  city,  dated  Richmond,  Va.,  May  26th,  1820.  The 
illustrations — from  copper-plates—do  not  exhibit  much  technical  ability  either  in  drawing  or 
engraving.  They  are  as  follows :  Death  of  Genl.  Montgomery — Defeat  of  Genl.  Braddock 
— Battle  of  Lexington — Battle  of  Bunker's  Hill  and  Death  of  Genl.  Warren — Capture  of 
Major  Andre — and  Surrender  of  Lord  Cornwallis.

ous  |  exemplifications  drawn  from  the  conduct  of  the  founder  of

applause  than  he  whose  chief  purpose  is  to  entice  the  young  |  mind

most  dear  to  these  states."  |  H.  Lee,  Major  General  Army  U.  S.  |

the  title-page.  The  illustrations  are  the  same,  but  from  another  set  of  plates  ;  the  "  Defeat  of 
General  Braddock,"  however,  is  an  entirely  different  design.

Tenth   Edition — Greatly   Improved.  |  Embellished   with    seven    En 
gravings.  |  By   M.    L.  Weems,  |  formerly  Rector  of  Mount- Vern on 
Parish.  |  '  The  author  has  treated  this  great  subject  with  admi  |  rable

Portrait  after  Stuart,  Baker,  339.     6  Plates. 

With  the  exception  of  the  abbreviation  of  the  quotation  from  General  Lee  on  the  title- 
page,  this  is  a  reprint  of  No.  78,  and  the  title  as  above  given  is  retained  in  all  subsequent 
editions,  of  which  so  many  have  appeared.  The  Twenty-sixth,  in  1824,  seems  to  have  been 
the  last  one  issued  by  Carey,  who  about  that  time  sold  the  plates —stereotyped  in  1818 — to 
Joseph  Allen,  of  Frankford,  near  Philadelphia,  whose  family,  it  is  said,  still  derive  some  revenue 
from  them.  At  the  time  of  the  transfer  to  Allen,  the  illustrations  were  from  other  copper 
plates  than  the  originals,  of  which  several  sets  had  been  executed ;  the  new  set — upright  in 
shape — being  much  better  both  in  design  and  workmanship.  The  Twenty-ninth  edition,  1826, 
appears  to  have  been  the  last  numbered  one.  In  1828  wood-cuts  replaced  the  copper-plates, 
and  subsequently,  about  1840,  new  stereotype -plates  were  cast,  pp.  244,  which  are  still  used  by 
the  present  publishers,  Lippincott  &  Co.,  the  last  printing  bearing  date  1882.

Collation:  English  Title  (i);  Editor's  Preface,  pp.  XV. — Latin  Title  (i);  Prooemium, 
Conspectus  Capitum,  XVII-XXIV;  Vita,  Appendix  and  Testimonials,  pp.  25-233. 

At  the  time  of  the  publication  of  this  work,  it  was  highly  commended  for  its  Latinity, 
and  used  for  some  time  as  a  text-book  in  the  grammar-school  of  Columbia  College,  N.  Y. ;  it 
is  now,  however,  considered  merely  as  a  literary  curiosity.  The  quotation  on  the  Latin 
title-page,  purporting  to  be  from  the  fragment  of  Cicero,  prophesying  the  future  appearance 
and  deeds  of  Washington,  was  the  source  of  considerable  bewilderment  on  the  part  of  the 
scholars  of  the  day,  who  investigated  it  without  success.  Professor  Charles  Anthon,  of 
Columbia  College,  having  finally  confessed  that  he  had  written  the  passage  himself,  the 
classical  inquiries  came  to  an  end.  We  furnish  a  translation  of  this  literary  deception  : 
"  Far  across  the  ocean,  if  we  may  credit  the  Sybilline  books,  and  after  many  ages,  an  exten 
sive  and  rich  continent  will  be  discovered,  and  in  it  will  arise  a  hero  who,  by  his  council 
and  arms,  will  deliver  his  country  from  the  slavery  by  which  she  was  oppressed.  This  shall 
he  do  under  favorable  auspices ;  and,  oh,  how  much  more  admirable  will  he  be  than  our 
Brutus  and  Camillas.  These  predictions  were  known  to  our  Accius,  who  has  embodied  them 
in  his  Nyctegresia^  and  embellished  with  the  ornaments  of  poetry."

"Washington  and  the  Generals  of  the  American  Revolution,"  2  vols.,  1 2ino,  sixteen 
Portraits,  was  edited  and  partly  written  by  Rufus  W.  Griswold,  assisted  by  W.  G.  Simms, 
E.  D.  Ingraham  and  others.  It  is  commonly  known  as  "  Griswold's  Washington,"  and  the 
authorship  of  the  Washington  sketch  usually  attributed  to  him.  But  of  this  there  is  no  posi 
tive  proof,  and  without  good  evidence  to  that  effect  we  incline  to  doubt  it.  The  writer  has 
heard  it  ascribed  to  the  pen  of  the  late  Horace  Binney  Wallace,  of  Philadelphia,  but  of  this 
also  no  evidence  was  adduced,  although  such  a  parentage  is  entitled  to  much  more  favorable 
consideration.

This  Life  of  Washington  was  projected  by  Rufus  W.  Griswold,  who,  after  entering  upon 
the  labor  of  preparing  it  for  the  press,  fell  seriously  ill.  At  that  time  Dr.  Griswold  had 
written  about  two  hundred  pages  of  the  work,  and  the  publishers  had  commenced  issuing  it 
in  monthly  parts,  four  of  which  had  appeared  when  he  was  compelled  to  lay  aside  his  pen. 
Mr.  Lossing  then,  at  the  request  of  the  publishers,  undertook  the  completion  of  the  biography, 
and  had  barely  entered  upon  the  duties  when  Dr.  Griswold  died.
